Breaking: Woz Brokers Handshake Between Griffin, Ferrera

Kathy Griffith
figure 1: Woz is now apparently openly dating Kathy Griffin. Just humor me, I’m sick.

Steve “Woz” Wozniak, Segway-Polo-playing co-founder of Apple, brokered a handshake at the 2007 Emmy Awards celebration. The handshake marks the end of formal Kathy Griffin / America Ferrera hostilities. This handshake will likely go down in history as one of the more famous handshakes — right up there with Sadat-Rabin.



Interview with Woz

Steve Wozniak In the Fittest of Health Playing Segway Polo

USA Today posted tiny snippets of an interview with Steve Wozniak, shown above playing Segway Polo. Apparently, the iPhone was the theme of the brief interview. The view from the clouds is that Woz loves the iPhone, but he’s still using his RAZR for voice, though he vastly prefers the iPhone to other smartphones. He’s got a wish list of things he wants to see in the iPhone, and he intends to give his wish list to Jobs. Here’s a short rundown:

  • 3G in a future revision
  • voice dialing
  • current temperature on the home screen

The amusing thing about this is how it all makes Fake Steve Jobs annoyed:

So now we’ll have to waste half a day bringing him in and hearing all his big ideas and letting him draw on a white board and give orders to some cafeteria workers that we dress up as engineers.
